Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Configure SDU and TDU parameters to improve Performance
Hi Muqthra I didn't saw your post sorry I didn't have time to see it.
The note is right
But from the note:
This enhancement improves the usability of the parameter for situations
where FORCE would normally cause a different, undesired execution plan. With
CURSOR_SHARING=SIMILAR, Oracle determines which literals are "safe" for
substitution with bind variables.
If you had binded properly, using bind when needed and not binding for
histograms for example. You don't have to use SIMILAR. SIMLAR causes Oracle
determines which literals are "safe" for substitution with bind variables,
and does that substitution. I really don't know if this is an important
overhead but this is something you definetively don't need when you had
binded correctly everything.
This is finally only a patch ( a "safe" patch) for problems in binding.
My point was, the ideal goal is to bind every thing properly, and then set the value to EXACT, if SIMILAR is harmless and overheadless ( I don't know if previous word exists :), maybe I'm enriching English vocabulary ) is other point.
